Police say a State Police Tactical Team fired tear gas into the home Gatcomb was staying in at the Pine Haven Trailer Park. Upon entering, they found Gatcomb hiding under the bathroom sink. Police feared he may have been armed, but he did not have a gun.

Earlier Sunday afternoon, police renewed their search for Gatcomb near the intersection of Routes 4 & 2 at the Jay-Wilton town line. The tear gas was used only after hours of attempts to reach Gatcomb in the trailer via bullhorn and cellphone failed.

Gatcomb fled into the woods Friday after a police officer pulled over the truck he was traveling in. He is currently on bail for felony theft and was wanted on several warrants, including domestic assault.
